| Howdy Itsa,
Thanks for the kind words.
The Henschel 123 A1 was built for the German airforce during the 1930's as an attack biplane following the strict limitations placed on German armed forces after WWI.
It was first used in the Spanish Civil war to support frontline troops. In WWII, it was used to support infantry on the eastern front until there were no more Hs 123's left.
The above is from the History which was included with the model instructions.
Have a good day,
